Steering in DRIVE
When only one gearbox is placed in DRIVE, the ReelRover can be turned in the direction of the parked
wheel. If the other gearbox is placed in PARK, the turn will be sharp (almost 90 degrees).
Figure 13: Sharp Turn in DRIVE
If the other gearbox is placed in NEUTRAL, the turn will be more gradual, depending on factors such as
ground type and weight of wire on reel.
